Q.

How do I get the best conveyancing rates in Ventnor for a £306k property?

A.

Many law firms advertise so-called 'the cheapest conveyancing', however additional costs will be included in small print. Any disbursements should also be included on a Ventnor conveyancing quote Additional fees listed in the solicitor's terms should be fair. Homeward Legal quotes offer a clear statement of your legal fees for a standard conveyancing transaction.

Q.

Should we get a chancel search if I plan to buy in the parish of Ventnor?

A.

The lawyer may suggest a chancel search, regardless of the parish where the property being bought is found. In Ventnor's much older areas, chancel repair has the potential to be charged on new owners of a property where Parochial Church Councils may have not done so in the past. Even if liability is unlikely, indemnity insurance is a sensible precaution.

When taking out a mortgage to buy a property, your lender will require legal work to be carried out on their behalf. Over the last two years, some lenders have limited the number of solicitors who can act for them. Homeward Legal can act on behalf of all major mortgage lenders.

Q.

In about four weeks we are hoping to be finally moving from our period house in Ventnor to a new house in Sandown , at what stage to appoint a home removal company?
